Well, in answer to your queation, that is exactly what I did!
I asked no one and did it anyway!
It was with the idea to affiliate with a National Fraternity. I started it and told the school here we are and what we want to do!
We did and are still there since 1965, begining of the Local BX!
Why did I do It? Well, I was not satisfied with the Orgs there even though there were TKE, PKA, SX, PSE (PSK), STG.
Do not ever look down your nose at someone as you may not really know what they had in mind!
